Green Building Codes Meetings start today for the ICC (International Code Council) SBTC – Sustainable Technical Committee to develop “green” codes.

The International Green Construction Code (IgCC) will be developed to apply to traditional and high performance buildings that are consistent and coordinated with the ICC family of Codes & Standards. The IgCC shall be applicable to the construction of buildings, structures, and systems, including existing buildings subject to alterations and additions. Residential portions of buildings shall be covered by the ICC 700 National Green Building Standard (NGBS). See - http://www.iccsafe.org/IGCC/SBTC.html
